Event Description

PURPLE HEART DAY 5K & 10K

*THIS IS A VIRTUAL RACE!

On August 7, 1782 George Washington created the Purple Heart and now, August 7th, is known as Purple Heart Day. We are celebrating with a Purple Heart Day 5K & 10K. You will get a beautiful purple heart medal. We have 500 medals available and they will sell out quick so sign up NOW!

Plus, we will be donating a portion of each registration fee (at least 15% of each registration) to the Purple Heart Foundation. Their mission supports a number of programs and services dedicated to helping ALL veterans and their families.

What: This is a 5K & 10K virtual run (or walk) to celebrate Purple Heart Day.

When: Complete your race any time in August 2018, if you can complete it on August 7th, even better.

*Medals and bibs will begin shipping out mid-July. If you sign up after that your medals will ship within 2 to 5 days of signing up.

Where: You choose the course and you time yourself (you’ll report your finishing time to us).

Why: Because this is our way of celebrating Purple Heart Day!

Cost: The price is $18 and that includes your medal, bib and shipping. Plus, at least 15% of every entry will be donated to the Purple Heart Foundation. *We are in no way affiliated with this charity, we like to choose a different charity for each of our races and are happy to raise funds for them.

WHAT IS A VIRTUAL RACE? A virtual race is a race that can be run (or walked) from any location you choose. You can run, jog, or walk on the road, on the trail, on the treadmill, at the gym or on the track (or even at another race). You get to run your own race, at your own pace, and time it yourself. And your medal will be shipped directly to you. Complete a virtual 5K, 10K, half marathon and more!
